A farmer named Shortlege living In the
vicinity OF Hockessn claims to have seen
the mysterious animal that has been alarm
ing the residents In that vicinity for two or
three weeks past. This morning as he was
going to his house preparing to start for
market In this city, he discovered the
animal on the porch. He quickly retraced
bis steps toward his butcher shop and en-.
listed reinforcement in the person of his
butcher. The two armed with knives and
meat hooks bore down on the critter but II
gave terrifying yell and disappeared. The
animal was about the sizs of cinnamon
bear, but Its conduct does not accord with
the action usually laid down in bear stories.
The animal turns up so numerously and
frequently, that many of the doubling peo-
pie Of that quiet neighhorhood believe that
the whole affair is either u fabrication or
that there is an invasion Of cinnamon
bear.
